Thousands of lickable candy products are being recalled after a child died from choking on the packaging.
As reported by WRAL, a 7-year-old girl in New York was eating one of the candy products, made by Cocco Candy. The packaging includes a ball that rolls at the top of the tube of liquid candy.
The ball fell out the tube, choking the little girl to death.
